Synopsis

This self-paced workshop will prepare faculty to serve as portfolio assessors for CNM’s Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) Program. Participants will learn how the academic standards guiding best practice in CPL are applied when assessing student portfolios that demonstrate prior learning related to a specific CNM course. Workshop activities include video commentary from previously trained CNM faculty assessors; excerpts from portfolios showing different strengths and weaknesses; and, practice in assessing a student portfolio, determining if it warrants academic credit, and providing feedback to students. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be prepared to serve as portfolio assessors within their academic departments and continue their professional development through practice and collaboration with colleagues.
